After turning professional in 2013, he accumulated a record of 17–0 before challenging Cesar Juarez for the vacant WBO interim junior-featherweight title, winning via fifth-round stoppage.

In his next fight Dogboe defeated Jessie Magdaleno to capture the full WBO junior-featherweight title.

He lost his WBO title to Emanuel Navarrete at the Hulu Theater in New York City’s Madison Square Garden on 8 December 2018. All three judges scored the fight in Navarrete’s favor. On 11 May 2019, the pair fought a rematch, and Dogboe lost once again, this time by twelfth-round technical knockout.

Dogboe has 2 losses. Emanuel Navarrete is the only boxer who has beaten Dogboe.
